The Idealism Of Art

By Alexander Robert Goldie

Book Overview

The Idealism of Art by Alexander R. Goldie is a thought-provoking exploration of the philosophical underpinnings of art. Goldie argues that art is not just a form of entertainment or a decorative object, but rather a means of expressing abstract ideas and emotions. He delves into the concept of idealism, which suggests that there is a realm of reality beyond the material world that can be accessed through art. Goldie draws on a wide range of philosophical and artistic traditions, from Plato and Aristotle to contemporary art theory, to support his argument. He also examines the role of the artist in society and the ways in which art can be used to promote social and political change. The Idealism of Art is a must-read for anyone interested in the deeper meaning and purpose of art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
